Description

This is an opportunity in the Thermal Hardware Product Design team to develop fans for Apple Products. You would be working in a cross-functional environment to develop modules for the next generation of portable and desktop computers. We apply a genuine sense of curiosity and dedication to delivering truly innovative products that enrich people’s lives. DESCRIPTION In this role, you will be responsible for developing every aspect of Apple’s cooling fan designs - aerodynamic design, detailing system integration features, synthesizing thermal design targets, industrial design goals, manufacturability and reliability. You will use your skills to develop and analyze candidate aerodynamic fan designs using CFD software as well as to help bring these designs into existence through implementation in engineering builds and execution in mass production. Your ability to communicate design concepts / results with management will get noticed. We assist in defining and reviewing meaningful tests for thermal module design qualification. You will work with top tier fan and thermal module vendors to validate and solve thermal design problems. Sometimes this could involve occasional travel to Asia for factory builds or in-person problem solving. Ability to review and interpret prototype test data would also be expected in order to accurately validate design concepts. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS BSME Degree Experience in Engineering Analysis of aerodynamic designs using CFD software Typically requires 5+ years of mechanical part design experience in any of the following: injection molding, stamping, forging, die casting, CNC, etc. Proven ability to work in a collaborative environment with self-motivation to identify and drive resolution on design issues across multiple projects Strong analytical/problem-solving skills using systematic and structured approaches Track record of work in mechanical or hardware related fields: design, manufacturing, operations, reliability, etc. Ability to synthesize, analyze, derive insights from, and clearly summarize complex data Experience using 2D and 3D drafting and modeling software 2D mechanical drawing layout experience, familiarity with GD&T or SPC or Cp/Cpk Experience with NX or Solid Works or Creo or ProE, etc. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS MSME degree Prior experience in design for high volume consumer products Excellent communication skills: written, visual, and verbal. Ability to articulate clearly and concisely to a multi-disciplinary team DC brushless motor design experience AI/ML design tool experience Experience with prototype design

Responsibilities

Develop aerodynamic cooling fan designs for portable and desktop computers, focusing on system integration and thermal targets. Collaborate with vendors to validate designs and oversee implementation from engineering builds to mass production.
